I keep seeing all these people supporting the gay rights movement and everyone seems to support it. Which is cool
What makes me angry is if I posted something about schizophrenia on my Facebook I would be alienated.
■■■■■■■ stigma for sz or sza bipolar is strong

Probably just ignored.
Thanks for this thread. Made me think about which powers one needs to have to infiltrate into the system.

I mean, when they managed to get into the educational system and made it in academic level…of what ■■■■■■■ ‘otherness’ we’re still talkin about?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_theory
I wish I could live long enough to see a knowledge about mental illnesses becoming a part of the normies final exam.

It’s a different rainbow im interested in.
An old medicine man theory, those guys were interdimensional travellers so maybe they were on to something. They called them the rainbow people and said they’d restore the earth to a more healthy state.
Well if that’s the case I hope they restore it too
Well man.if you were to start a meme like deal you’d probably get a lot of support.
You could do the picture with caption.
Perhaps a “be aware” kind of deal.
Could just cover schizophrenia or mental illness in general.
Any ideas of what the picture could be?
I was thinking a black and white photo. Just like the rainbow but in grayscale
Something saying like :
someone you may know is struggling with mental health
Share this to support those with Anxiety , Depression , Bipolar , Schizophrenia

AC Watson, E Otey, AL Westbrook, AL Gardner, TA Lamb, PW Corrigan and WS Fenton,
Schizophrenia bulletin , 2004
The field test of The Science of Mental Illness curriculum supplement for middle school (grades 6-8) children provided an opportunity to assess knowledge and attitudes about mental illness in more than 1,500 middle school students throughout the United States and to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on stigma-related attitudes. Two primary questions were examined: (1) what are the baseline knowledge and attitudes about mental illness in this sample of middle school students, and (2) does participation in a curriculum about the science of mental illness increase knowledge and improve attitudes about mental illness? Consistent with findings from other studies, results indicate that students had some understanding of mental illness as a problem of the brain with biological and psychosocial causes; however, they lacked knowledge about treatment and overall were "not sure" about many aspects of mental illness. The students did not strongly endorse negative attitudes about mental illness at baseline. The curriculum produced significant improvements in both knowledge and attitudes at posttest and was most effective in improving attitudes among those with more negative baseline attitudes. These findings suggest that a brief educational program can be an effective intervention to increase knowledge and improve attitudes about mental illness.
Seattle schools have been beginning to teach workshops and small classes on mental health and awareness… it is becoming part of the curriculum for a few school…
It will grow.
